Textbook Question
Chapter 20.SE, Problem 27MP
Naturally occurring compounds called cyanogenic glycosides, such as lotaustralin, release hydrogen cyanide, HCN, when treated with aqueous acid. The reaction occurs by hydrolysis of the acetal linkage to form a cyanohydrin, which then expels HCN and gives a carbonyl compound.
(a) Show the mechanism of the acetal hydrolysis and the structure of the cyanohydrin that results.
(b) Propose a mechanism for the loss of HCN, and show the structure of the carbonyl compound that forms.
